munificus: The answer to 15th September question...

Oswald Gruebel, is now the ex-chief executive of UBS. Took longer than I thought

Profile

Philip J. Bradley spent a number of years as an advisor for various companies and organisations. He also set up a number of IT companies, including (longer ago than he cares to remember) taking over an Apple reseller... in the days of the Apple ][.

He has strong views on most things and certainly doesn't mind sharing them. He gives us the benefit of some of his sometimes unusual opinions on current affairs and other matters close to his heart. With the benefit of hindsight, some show a certain amount of prophecy, and some are very wide of the mark. His ideas are usually ‘ahead of the curve’... although in his (sometimes) provocative manner, he would say “if you know it’s a curve, you’re already ahead of the game”.

The intention is to make you think and then come to your own conclusion.

He also advises on how to create 'workarounds' for IT problems. Just tell him that something can't be done... that'll get his goat!
